Darn it! 

One of the most anticipated games for this year’s Rugby World Cup, the England v France has been called off due to Typhoon Hagibis.

The storm is predicted to be moving fast, and is likely to be the biggest typhoon of 2019- causing a disruption in Tokyo, Yokohama and the City of Toyota through Saturday.

So the World Rugby and the Japan Rugby 2019 Organising Committee announced the update on Thursday.

The two teams will result in a draw- as discussed by the two committees

Both teams will also progress to the quarter finals by default.
